TLDR
The pathologic lesion associated with bleomycin has been most extensively studied, and because similar changes have been described for most agents, it will be described first.

Pulmonary Drug Toxicity: Radiologic and Pathologic Manifestations

TL;DR: Pulmonary drug toxicity is increasingly being diagnosed as a cause of acute and chronic lung disease and knowledge of these manifestations and of the drugs most frequently involved can facilitate diagnosis and institution of appropriate treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pulmonary Complications of Bone Marrow Transplantation

TL;DR: Antimicrobial prophylaxis, modified chemotherapy and irradiation dosages, and antiviral immunization have been shown to reduce the incidence of early-onset pulmonary problems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of bleomycin-induced lung damage

TL;DR: Bleomycins are a family of compounds produced by Streptomyces verticillis which have potent tumour killing properties which have given them an important place in cancer chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apoptosis and expression of Fas/Fas ligand mRNA in bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice.

TL;DR: The results showed that a single instillation of bleomycin leads to the rapid appearance of apoptosis in bronchial and alveolar epithelial cells, which resolves within 1 day, and apoptosis reappears on day 7 and continues for over 14 days after bleomyin instillation.

A clinical review of bleomycin—a new antineoplastic agent

TL;DR: In conclusion, bleomycin appeared to be useful in the treatment of patients with specific tumors refractory to standard treatment and/or whose bone marrow status precluded the use of conventional chemotherapy.
Journal Article

The pathogenesis of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice.

TL;DR: The consistent induction of changes similar to those of diffuse pulmonary fibrosis or fibrosing alveolitis in man suggests that bleomycin-induced injury may provide a suitable model for the investigation of this ill-defined group of diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bleomycin, adriamycin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone (BACOP) combination chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced diffuse histiocytic lymphoma.

TL;DR: It is anticipated that the majority of patients with advanced, previously untreated, diffuse histiocytic lymphoma will achieve an extended disease-free survival for what had previously been regarded as an invariably fatal disease.
